Soltactiphoria

Definition: The euphoria a farmer experiences when s/he gathers soil from the ground with their naked hands, assesses the soil quality with the highly sensitive skin of their finger tips, breathes in the aromas of the soil and experiences a soil “high” when the commingling of all of these senses is accentuated by the ancient, learned, earned knowledge that this is indeed a rich, nourishing, life giving soil.

Origin: Farmers, California, January 2017.
